am thankful that my family and I play a part in making this dream
a reality” – Melissa

Melissa – “The dogs my family has been lucky enough to know over the years
have given us so much unconditional love. It feels good to be able to pay that
back, in some small way.”

“We foster because so many dogs need saving, and our passion is to give them a chance for love and kindness that they may never have known.” – Keith & Carol

Janet – “Rescuing dogs and giving them that second chance, when they are out of
chances..is my passion… and I can’t think of any other way that I want to spend
the rest of my life… They so deserve our love and efforts to save them.“

“When you look into the eyes of an animal that needs you, the heart just takes overand helping them becomes the only answer.” – Erica

“I foster to help undo the bad and replace it with good for the forgotten ones” – April

“I am a rescuer because I want to be a safe haven. I want to heal the broken, love the unloved and teach both dogs and people that we can make a difference.” – Colleen

Cynthia – “I foster rescue dogs because someone decided the life of a dog just isn’t that
important and I know that these dogs were just dealt a bad hand and I can help change
the game for them and put them in the hands of a family who will see and nurture the
truly wonderful beings that they are. The love and laughter these dogs give, in the short
time they’re with me, is deeply rewarding. Also, the relationships I’ve built throughrescuing are a blessing.”

“When I was a kid my first dog was a stray that lived in the back yard of an abandoned house a few houses down. She was gentle and sweet and I couldn’t imagine anyone leaving her. We put up posters and called local animal shelters but no one claimed her. Since then all I have wanted to do is help more dogs like her who just want someone to love them. It truly breaks my heart the kind of experiences dogs have and I just want to give a little love back.” – Amber

Susan – “I decided to foster once my girls left home-empty nest syndrome and after 42 foster pups and a foster fail our home is always open to a pup in need. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing our family has helped a dog find a loving forever home! Ya we lose a little of our hearts every time they leave, but our hearts are filled every time we know another baby has a new loving life. One dog at a time our family tries to make a difference.”

Mission Statement

Save Me Rescue is a registered charity organization dedicated to rescuing homeless and abandoned dogs from high-kill shelters and owners who can no longer care for them. By working with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, trainers, and boarding facilities, we are able to rescue many animals every year, provide them with loving temporary care and find them well-matched, carefully screened forever homes. We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, [Read More]
